Extreme Film and Sound: Stories from Antarctica

Tim Jarvis photographed during the making of &#39;Mawson: Life and Death in Antarctica’ (2007)
This exhibition celebrates 100 years of Australian Antarctic Expeditions and the anniversary of Sir Douglas Mawson's 1911-1914 Australasian Antarctic Expedition with blizzards, radio waves, penguins, gramophone records and filmmakers.
From Mawson's first expedition and the later establishment of Australia's Antarctic bases during the 1950s to the present, scientists, technicians, documentary makers, journalists, administrators, conservationists and artists have responded to the challenge of using film, sound and communication technologies in the world's harshest environment. See the results of their work.
